THE BLUES. ' When a cheerful, brave, light-hearted Woman is suddenly plunged into that perfection of misery, the blues, it is a Bad picture. It is usually this way: She has been feeling "out of sorts" for some time ; head has ached, and back also; has slept poorly, been quite nervous, and nearly fainted once ' or twice; head dizzy, and fasts then (.,) that bear- ., Ing-down feeling, Her doctor says, " cheer up, you have dyspepsia; you'll be all right soon." . But she doesn't get "all right." She grows worse day by day, till all at once she realizes that a distressing fe male complaint is established. - Her doctor has made a mistake.' She has lost faith in him; hope van ishes; then comes the brooding, morbid, melancholy, everlasting blues. Lydia E.

" People doctor their troubles and try different medicines so often without benefit that they get discouraged and skeptical. In most such cases serious mistakes are made n doctoring and not knowing what our trouble is ot what makes us sick. The unmis takable evidences of kidney trouble are pain or dull ache in the back, too frequent de-. sire to pass water, scanty supply, scalding irritation. . As kidney disease advances the face looks sallow or pale, eyes" puffy, the feet swell and sometimes the heart aches badly, Should further evidence be heeded to find out the cause of sickness, then set urine aside for twenty-four hours; a sediment or settling is also convincing proof that our kidneys and bladder need doctoring.' ; . - The mild and extraordinary effect of Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, the great kidney and bladder remedy, is soon realized.

BEST AND KELIKF. A piece of machinery run by steam and overworked will become cranky, creaky and out of gear, owing to some expansion of metal from heat and friction. Stop its work, rub and brighten and let it rest. In a short while it will be restored and will run smoothly. The human system is a machine. Too much work and worry are thrown upon it; too much of the heat of daily cares: too much of the steam of daily business. The nerves become cranky ; they are restless, sleepless and twitchy, and a neuralgic condition sets in. Pain throws the machine out of gear and it needs rest and treatment to strengthen and restore. St. Jacobs Oil is the one remedy of all pe culiarly adapted to a prompt and sure cure. 'So many have so freely testified from experience and use to its efficacy in the cure of neuralgia that it passes without saying that it surely cures. It will be a gracious surprise to many after the free use of it to find how easily pain, cares and worry may be lifted, and how smoothly the human machine goes on. A Famous Graved Igger.

War Between Germany and Hayti Thus Averted. WAS A HAPPY TERMINATION Review of the Case From the Baytian ., Standpoint Important Fart Played by Mtnliter Howell. Kingston, Jamaica, Nov. 18. The threatened rupture between Germany and Hayti has been amicably settled, thanks to the mediation of the United States minister, F. VV. Howell, though it is still understood that Germany in tends to make a naval demonstration in Haytian waters. The German version of the trouble has Keen already published. The fol lowing is the Haytian side of the dis pute: The dispute arose out of the impri sonment of He'rr Emil Lueders, the son of a German who married a Haytian woman. Up to a short time ago Lued ers was a Haytian citizen, but, having been concerned in several little affairs, among which are mentioned four duels, he seemingly deemed it wise to change bis nationality, and - registered hia name at the German consulate. For an assault upon a cab driver, said to have been unprovoked, to whioh Lueders, it is said, pleaded guilty, he was sentenced to one month's imprison ment. He appealed from this decision to the correctional court, and the sen tence was altered, he being sentenced to one year's seclusion and a fine of 600 francs. A further appeal was pending when the German minister interfered without invitation, and, it is claimed, forced his way into the private apart merits of Tciesas Simon Sam, the presl dent of the Haytian republic, and in a rude and peremptory manner, demand ed the relase of Lueders. with an apol ogy to the German government, an in demnity of $1,000 a day for the time he had been in prison, the immediate trial of the police who arrested him and the dismissal of the judges who sen tenoed him. If the prisoner was not released within 24 hours the indemnity was to be $5,000 per day for every daj thereafterwards. Naturally the president resented the insult which had been offered, and firmly but politely referred the min 1 ister, fount Schwerin, who is charge d'affaires, of the German embassy at Port au Prince, to the minister of for eign affairs, whose duty it was to entei into such matters. . The German min ister demanded that Simon Sam should comply with his demands, and meeting with a refusal, cabled to. Berlin for in struction. A reply having been re ceived he hauled down his flag and an nounced that three German warshipt were on their way here. This news became public property and roused the Haytians to a fever heat of excitement and indignation, and even the American and British resi dents felt that it was an attempt to "milk a cow that was already dry," and the Haytians, despite their feeble ness, were bound to resist it. Many of them offered their assistance to' the government as volunteers in the event of trouble. Feeling the current of public opinion and the oertainty of support in any de fensive action which he might take, the president called in as many troops as could be reached at short notice, the barracks were filled, ammunition was served out and every precaution made for a fierce struggle. Acting entirely upon his own voli tion, Mr. Hotfell, the United States minister, addressed letters to the Hay tian minister for foreign affairs, re questing that Lueders be released. The Haytian minister then, as an act ol courtesy to the United States, released Lueders, but at the same time officially expelled him from the country. He left at once for Berlin, where he laid his cause before the German govern ment'. ' . Opposed to Arbitration. Louisville, Ky., Nov. 18. The gen eral assembly of the Knignts of Laboi this morning selected Chicago as th place and the first Tuesday in Novem ber, 1898, as the time for the next meeting.

Gordon Highlanders Great Charge at Iarg;al Ridge. London, Nov. 17. The newspapers of this city have received graphic details by mail of the recapture of Dargai ridge by the Gordon Highlanders, on October 20, during which the regiment exhibit ed remarkable dash and courage. - On Wednesday, October 20, General Biggs, sent the second division to dislodge the tribesmen from the Dargai ridge. - The position was a very strong one, the enemy occupying the summit of a pre cipitous hill. The top of the hill could not be reached except by a single path along which the attacking force, first consisting of a Ghoorka regiment, the Derbyshire regiment, and the Dorset shire regiment, were obliged to climb in Indian file, while three batteries shelled the breastworks of the hillmen. Dargai ridge, from the direction of the assault, presents a frontage of about a mile, the left end- of which is sheer rock for 200 yards. In spite of the difficulty of the ascent, tb movements of the British troops were fairly well covered, except . in the case of a low dip, or small valley, from 100 to 150 yards wide about half way from the summit of the cliff. As the Ghoorkas, supported by the Derbyshires and Dorsetshires reached this fire zone, the tops of the cliffs burst out into flame, for 1,000 tribes men had reserved their fire until that moment. Though decimated, the Ghoorkas struggled. across the dip and reached the shelter of . a few rocks, where they lay down under oover of the cliffs. ' But the others could not follow, and the enemy, with true mili tary instinct, reserved their fire. Though the remainder of the Ghoorkas, the Derbyshires and the Dorsetshires appeared on the fringe of the dip, yet to step intothe fire zone -was to court death. But the Dorsetshires again tried to advance to the support of the Ghoorkas, and 18 men struggled into the open space, only to drop before the far side had even been reached. Then, reluctantly, the senior officer signalled down to the main body of the British that the passage could not be made. At this juncture General Kempster ordered the Gordon Highlanders to the front The time bad arrived for des perate action, for it was then 4 o'clock in the afternoon, and the dead and wounded were lying thick on every side. But the Gordon Highlanders had yet to be reckoned with. ' Rapidly forming his men and after his now historic speech "Men of the Gordon High landers, our general says that that posi tion must be taken at all costs. The ordon Highlanders will take it" Colonel Matthias, commander of the Highlanders, dashed out at the head of his gallant regiment, and in a moment they were across, carrying everyone with them in -their onward rush, storm ing the ridge with a resolution that was resistless. When , Colonel Matthias gave the order to advance, he and his officers led into tho open, the piper fol lowing, striking up "Cock of the North," and with a shout the leading company was into the fire zone. A stream of lead swept over, through and past, the bullets churning up the dust which half hid the rushing bodies. Piper Findlates, blowing his loudest and best,- was among the first to show the way across that deadly stretch of ground, and when, after traversing but a few yards he was laid low by a shot through both legs, he managed to prop himself and continued, with unabated energy, to play "Cock of the North," animating his comrades by the familiar, stirring music of his pipes. But the fire of the enemy was most deadly, the leading line men melting away, and it seemed that the Gordon Highlanders would be annihilated. . More men, however, sprang into the passage and the leaders struggled across the center. Then, with a second cheer, the troops streamed across and the enemy, seeing that the. barrier had been swept away, left their loopholes and fled precipi tately. Piper Findlates has been recommend ed for the Victoria cross. Captain Bobinson, of the Ghoorkas, also acted with the greatest gallantry. : After leading his men across the fire zone to cover, and finding it insufficient, he re turned over the death trap alone, and, was mortally wounded while leading the second rush of Ghoorkas. NOT ONE ESCAPED. Bad Accident to a Russian Wedding ' Party. - . ' St. Petersburg, Nov. 17. A terribla accident has oocurred near Bielostok, Russian Poland, resulting in the death of 80 persons. "A wedding party was returning from the church to the houss a huge vehicle, drawn by eight horses. The road along which they drove crossed the railway track on the level, and -the driver, either through careless, ness or ignorance of the train schedule, pushed his swiftly moving horses upon the orossing, just as the express was coming up. The locomotive struck the vehicle squarely, killing many mem bers of the party outright and maiming others so that they soon expired in frightful agony. Not a member of the party escaped. .
